All is Merry and ALL IS BRIGHT

One of my favorite things about the holiday season is the limited edition makeup collections that are now available at Sephora. They're a great way to expand your makeup arsenal, and they make great gifts as well. My current holiday collection that I'm in love with is the All is Bright Lip Glaze Set by Stila. For $25 you get 8 beautiful, glossy shades in easy to apply click pens for a perfect application. This set features 2 of Stila's best-selling shades* and 6 limited-edition holiday shades.

Not only are the glosses festive, but they smell AND taste sweet like ribbons of candy. 

All is Bright Lip Glaze Set won't be around forever, so get yours soon!

Colors from top to bottom:

Sugar Plum* (slightly shimmery berry)

Black Cherry* (slightly shimmery plum)

Splendor (shimmery baby pink)

Joy (bubble gum pink)

Jolly (slightly shimmery soft pink)

Holly (My favorite color--red/orange)

Jingle (slightly shimmery peach/pink)

Jack Frost (high shimmer nude similar to Stila's iconic Kitten)

Ocean Drive: Splurge

Technically I should be in bed right now since I have to be up in less than eight hours, but I'm trying to calm the butterflies in my stomach after my makeup splurge today. 
Tomorrow I have a shoot with Ocean Drive Magazine for their annual Swim Issue out in July for Miami Swim Week. I'm doing the makeup for the cover and the swim story. I am so excited! I probably can't go into detail regarding the inspiration for the shoot, but I can tell you that it's a throwback; and the model will be wearing swimsuits. You're just gonna' have to wait. Listed below are the new products that I felt I simply could not live without. I mean, no one should.

Stila Custom Color Blush Self-Adjusting Coral: Kinda' self explanatory. It's like a mood ring blush.
Stila All Over Shimmer Liquid Luminizer in Kitten Shimmer: Beautiful champagne shimmer. Not too pink. Not too gold. Just right.
Stila Smudge Pot in Black: For the perfect winged eyeliner...or double winged eyeliner. Shhh! No more hints.
Too Faced Royal Oil Coconut Oil Body Bronzer: Drop what you're doing and buy it. Seriously. Go.
MAC Amplified Lipstick in Impassioned: Beautiful, creamy hot/neon pink with a hint of tangerine.
MAC Eye Shadow in Antiqued: The perfect bronzey brown. My favorite color in the world.
MAC Eye Kohl in Teddy: A shimmery brown, easy to blend eye liner. My favorite eye pencil in the world.
LUSH Eau Roma Water Toner: Okay. This product is only for me. I ran out of Celestial lotion and needed a sample to tide me over for a bit. I didn't want to seem cheap, so I bought this. It smells pretty freakin' spectacular. (fresh rose petals and lavender)

Alright, I'm going to bed. I think.
